Distracting my competition...

Undo the flap on the golf cart. Then watch them take off in the golf cart and their bag falls out. Be careful that they are not on a paved path because their bag will fall out on the pavement.

man, I HATE that, Ive had my bag flap pulled and my driver hit the ground a couple times. That's taking it too far I think, because your clubs cab get ruined. I couldnt get too mad at the guy who did to me it though, beacuse he's the pro at the course and was letting me play for free.

I've pulled the untie the strap on the golf bag trick a couple times. I usually either made sure it was on grass or if they had really shitty clubs and didn't care what happened to them (lord knows they've been slammed into the ground enough times). It's embarrassing though if it happens in the parking lot with everyone watching.

If I had an exploding ball, I'd pull the trick after someone just loses a ball off the tee (OB, water, or woods) and wants to re-tee. When he asks for another ball toss the exploder to him, and let him hit it. (It would work with my buddies because as long as the ball's round and not too off color, they'd hit it.)

I reserve the pink ball for after someone's lost a ball/made a bad shot and wants me to give them another ball. Hitting the thing usually distracts them enough to make another bad shot.

Thanks for all the help. I ahve had the untie the strap done to me before. A few times. Ver dirty trick!

If you want to put them off badly, but simply, just drag your foot on the floor in the middle of their backswing. Very effective.

I'm all for an occasional practical joke during a fun round, but if there is money on the table or its part of a tourny, or if the joke might cause me to hurt myself, such as touching me during my swing or throwing something at me, or might damage my clubs, well, you better prepare yourself for an ass kicking as my response.

Many years ago someone pulled the club between my leg while swinging routine on me and i jared my back badly as a result, was out of commission from life for 3 weeks. I have also seen people's bags fall off the cart, on grass, and had major damage to the clubs.

Remember, if you are going to pull a joke, you better be prepared for the consequences, such as a club up your ass.

To prevent the clubs from falling off the cart when your buddy undoes the strap you need to buy the Ogio Grom bag. It has a rubber strap that hooks to the cart to keep the bag from twisting and leaning while you ride. It saved me this past Summer when I was on my golf trip with my brother and his buddies. By the afternoon round on Saturday the beer has been flowing for hours and the fun is really starting. My partner and I drove off and his clubs stayed behind while mine were in the cart safe and sound.

If you have to do all this stuff to distract your competition, you must not be all that good. Honestly, I mean all this stuff seems pretty juvenile and I am only 18. Id rather not distract my competition, Id rather embarress them with my play on the course.

If you have to resort to these measures to try and beat your opponent it gets kind of sad.

I am all about fun, but what more fun do you need to have. Your already out playing golf.

Not to be a prick, but a lot of people on this thread need to remember the difference between "your" and "you're". Thanks.

For the exploding golf ball, just write something on the ball yourself, just try your best to copy the logo of the ball the person is playing, theyll have no idea.

Nothing beats the ''Man, I got all of that 4 iron'' nd really hit a 7 or 8 iron. Makes for good times....

Sorry that last thing I think of when I come onto a Forum ( besides my special spelling and grammar forum ) is grammar. If you cant tell the difference all by yourself and feel the need to correct someone on it - may I suggest the field of teaching.

Regardless of "what you think of," the simple truth is this: if you speak properly, your opinion will be given more weight and assigned more value by others. If you talk like a dumbass, people won't care as much about what you have to say.

And if it doesn't bother you that people don't care what you say or put much value in what you say, why participate in a forum at all? Now, back to topic, boys.

If people think less of your opinion by simple grammatical errors then maybe this isnt the right forum to be in. From what I have noticed this forum is more about nit-picking other peoples posts, as far as I can see.

Time to seek other options. And as far as talking like a jackass, I think thats just a stupid thing to say. I used your instead of you're. If people cant tell the difference and deal with it without having to post to the effect of correcting me, thats just a bit ridiculous.

That's the simple truth of the world. Plenty of people (rightly, IMHO) pick on George W. Bush for his many public speaking mistakes.

If you speak unintelligibly, you'll be regarded as less intelligent and thus of having less valid opinions. That's simply the way things are. Sorry to be the one to break it to you.

Good thing nobody said that! Furthermore, my response wasn't aimed at you, necessarily. I was just pointing out the way the world works.

If you don't care about that, so be it. It won't change the way things are. Now, if we can get back on topic, that'd be great.

see, iacas? While we may not agree on the severity of hitting golf balls at birds, at least we agree on good grammar and spelling. Now, can't we find a middle ground and you let me keep the bird avatar this time? We can agree to disagree.

Any post that comments on good grammar should at least start with a capital letter.

Gotcha!
